Amber Heard pregnant with second child as Johnny Depp's ex-wife 'delighted'

Actress Amber Heard, who was married to Johnny Depp and faced a high-profile defamation trial, has announced she is pregnant with her second child as she focuses on her new life in Spain

Amber Heard has announced she is expecting her second child.

The actress, who was once in a high profile romance with Johnny Depp, shared her exciting news. She is already a proud mum to Oonagh Paige, who is three-years-old. Amber, 38, was married to Pirates Of The Caribbean star Depp from 2015 until 2017. They were involved in a defamation trial in 2022 following their divorce.

"It is still quite early in the pregnancy, so you will appreciate that we do not want to go into much detail at this stage. Suffice to say that Amber is delighted both for herself and Oonagh Paige," her representative told People. Amber now lives in Madrid, Spain and it is not known if she is welcoming her baby alone or with a partner.

The Aquaman star has opted to live a low-profile life since the end of the trial, which saw a jury return a verdict in Johnny's favour. Amber said there was too much "chaos" following the verdict, leading her to ditch Hollywood for Spain. She initially moved to the island of Mallorca but opted for an upscale neighbourhood in Madrid.

Amber revealed in July 2021 she had welcomed daughter Oonagh into the world three months beforehand, having decided to become a parent "on [her] own terms". Alongside a professionally shot picture of herself holding her baby, Amber wrote on Instagram at the time: “I’m so excited to share this news with you.

"Four years ago, I decided I wanted to have a child. I wanted to do it on my own terms. I now appreciate how radical it is for us as women to think about one of the most fundamental parts of our destinies in this way. I hope we arrive at a point in which it’s normalized to not want a ring in order to have a crib. A part of me wants to uphold that my private life is none of anyone’s business. I also get that the nature of my job compels me to take control of this.

“My daughter was born on April 8, 2021. Her name is Oonagh Paige Heard. She’s the beginning of the rest of my life." In the Fire director Conor Allyn previously praised the star for finding happiness following her well-publicised legal battles with ex-husband Johnny, who she accused of abuse.

Connor told People magazine: “She's living her best life in Spain with her daughter and just finding happiness in that way...
"She is such a dedicated mom [and] really good about making the time [for her daughter]." According to reports, Amber is bilingual in Spanish and is happy being able to raise her daughter "away from all of the noise".

Johnny Depp sued his ex-wife over a 2018 article she wrote for The Washington Post about her experiences as a survivor of domestic abuse, which lawyers claim accused him of being an abuser. Johnny wasn't named in the article. The long-running legal battle ended in December 2022, with the jury returning a verdict in Johnny's favour. Amber's insurance company was ordered to pay $1million (£795,000) to Johnny.
